Due to structural modularity and intrinsic porosity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are crystalline materials build from organic linkers and inorganic building blocks, have been already utilized for a wide range of applications including gas storage and purification, sensing, catalysis, and light harvesting.<br/>Herein, we report rational design, preparation, and comprehensive analysis of fulleretic MOFs. Coordinative immobilization of fulleretic type ligands inside the rigid metal-organic frameworks was used to merge the modularity and porosity inherent to MOFs and intrinsic properties of fulleretic derivatives. Upon further development, we envision that the prepared well-defined hybrid materials could foreshadow a new avenue for the engineering of new sensors, solar cells, battery anodes, or light-emitting diodes in the future.<br/>
